Boys’ Basketball Loses to Central Catholic

On Wednesday, January 16th, the RHS boys’ basketball team faced the Central Catholic Raiders at Central Catholic. The game began with Central scoring the first two points. The Ripon Indians had their work cut out for them and the battle began. The constant back and forth scoring between the Indians and the Raiders was fierce.

At the end of the first quarter the raiders had a 14 point lead leaving the score at 30-16. After a short break the Indians came out with a new look. The defense and offense really stepped it up. Point guard Chase DePrue sunk an amazing 3 point shot giving the Indians hope.

Derek Hickman and Cole Herrin pitched in also bumping up the score a little, but it wasn’t enough. At the end of the 3rd quarter Central led by an amazing 24 points leaving the score at a devastating 51-27 Central.

After a short break the newest Indian player Tim Groen was a fighting force for the Indians. The team did an amazing job but it wasn’t enough. Central won by 20 points leaving the final score 67-47. Good luck next time boys!
